When monochromatic radiation of intensity I fall on a metal surface, the number of photoelectron and their maximum kinetic energy are N and T respectively. If the intensity of radiation is 2I, the number of emitted electrons and their maximum kinetic energy are respectively
N and 2T
2N and T
2N and 2T
N and T
i) Kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends on the frequency of incident radiations and is independent of the intensity of illumination.
ii) A number of photoelectrons depend upon the intensity.
As the number of photons is proportional to intensity of radiation, when intensity is doubled, number of photons will become doubled i.e 2N .
Since the maximum kinetic does not depend on intensity of the radiation so it will remain same i.e T.
